Keeping your eyes protected this summer season
Keeping your eyes protected this summer season
With summer just months away from embracing our shores with well-deserved sunlight and children soon off from school for the Easter holidays, it will definitely be a tough job to find something to keep everyone entertained and busy during this upcoming holiday period. If you're planning a mini-break to Ireland to kiss the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle to gain the gift of the gab or to enjoy the natural beauty of the Beara Peninsula, don't forget that the Emerald Isle catches the sun too. Though you might not be sunning in Spain, you should still make sure that your eyes are adequately protected from the sun.
Shielding your eyes from the sun can help you protect your eyesight in a variety of different ways and help you whilst you're out and about making the most of the most of the sights around Ireland. However it can be difficult for those who wear glasses to adequately protect their eyes without having to carry around another pair of sunglasses with them.
Opticians in Ireland can offer patients who wear glasses the option to have a prescription pair of sunglasses. This means that you would be able to benefit from the protection against ultraviolet rays from the sun whilst still being able to use your current prescription from your ophthalmologist.
Any local Irish optician can also provide you a range of different options when it comes to protecting your eyes during the summer as well. If you're a person who prefers to wear contact lenses, at an optician you can be sure to find a pair of sunglasses that will be certified to protect your eyes against the ultraviolet rays. This is in comparison to some cheaper fashion glasses which don't always have UV protection or do not always make clear when you're buying them.
Another option your Irish optician may offer you during a routine eye test is the option to make your new lenses reactive to sunlight by adding a photosensitive tint to them. This can help those who wear glasses whilst out and about against the effects of glare on your eyes, as the moment you step into an area of intense light, your glasses will automatically compensate and tint to a level that is much safer on your eyes.
If you're an eligible recipient of the Medical Card scheme as well, you may be able to have the costs of your eye test, and any glasses prescribed covered by the scheme, so you possibly may not have to pay the full, or total costs of any tests carried out or glasses prescribed to you.
